World (J)war III

----For visibility----

I got full details from the plant. They are more than happy to rent to us, but there is also a bit of bad news. First off, the price is dependent on how many of us go. For a group of 6-10 the fee would be $100 per hour. For a group of 11-15 the fee is $125 per hour. So depending on how many of us decide to go, that's about $16-$9/hr each. That includes access to all the locations at the site including the cooling towers (one open air, one closed), the actual nuclear reactor room, and the various tunnels and whatnot.

Now the worst of the news. We would be required to get insurance. I'll shop around, but it may be difficult to obtain a proper Commercial General Liability plan since we're not exactly commercial entity. I'll also see if they'll take an event liability insurance instead, which may be easier to get. I'm going to do a bit of research and see if I can get any arts grant into the project to help out with either just the insurance or the actual rental. I am still technically a Washington resident, so that should help with grants.

The other bit of bad news is that they do not do weekends, only Mon-Fri 8am-4pm. So my recommendation would be to make this an optional side excursion on either Friday or Monday for those able to get the day off. If we get a min of 6 to commit to at least 4 hour session, longer if we find funding, I think it will be worth it. And then focus the main event at a rehearsal venue all weekend long in Portland. Alternatively, we could also just find some other interesting venue, or not do it at all. Let me know if there is still interest and I should pursue this further. I am more than ok not doing it, but I feel like this would be amazing if we can make it affordable.

Side note: Anyone down to share a hotel/airbnb/hovel/artisanal cardboard box in Portland?

[PeteeBee]

Thanks for doing all this legwork and planning. I'll pm you once I have some firm approval

Thanks for doing all that planning! I'm definitely in! I'm in Portland, so, if there's anything I can do to help let me know.

Now the worst of the news. We would be required to get insurance.

I'm sorry, I thought this was America.

I feel like there's nothing more American than insurance

[goroth]

As long as it isn't health insurance.

For the amazing and timely "Zing"ing of their own joke, Goroth is the poster of the month for July 2016. Your (avatar) picture is going on the wall of shame. There have been about 20 other posters of the month this month.

[Inconuucl]

I doubt I'll be financially stable by then, so I'll be there in jedi-fuzz spirit.

[psychic vampire.]

Financial stability is for the birds. Come hang out and play with us.

I'm no good at trolling. I wanted to get in first in case the thread turned political. Which seemed unlikely but you never know. As stated, I'm an amateur shit poster and reall am a nice reptile at heart.
Am also kinda proud of reaching a new low zinging my own wisecrack.

[Hyphen Nation]

Not sure I'll make it to the nukes, but I am doing some digging on rehearsal/open spaces this week.

Kinda thinking I'd like to see if I can find a place with a bar and decent food. It'd be a lot easier to get during the day. Do you guys think like 10:00-6:00 would be good for a day Saturday? I'll see what I can find.

[morange]

Yeah I'll come down.

[neonblack]

I'm gonna have to bail on this one. As soon as there's a meetup on this side of the country, I'm all up in that.
